A very impressive athlete in the open court, Ingram Jr had some of the most electrifying dunks I saw this weekend. With big time explosiveness, Ingram Jr was looking to leak out and throw down to give his team a boost of momentum. In the half-court, Ingram Jr is a big time shooter, especially off the catch. Knocking down a couple 3-pointers in both games I caught, Ingram Jr made big shots late in both games I saw. For Ingram Jr, being consistent with his production and impacting the game without the ball in his hands will be key for college programs to see. If Ingram Jr continues to play like this, he could be a breakout senior in NW Ohio next winter.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2428276"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Playing up an age group this weekend, I thought this was a good experience for Haralson. A physically imposing big for his age, Haralson has the size, body and athleticism to be a problem in the paint. With a couple dunks and rebounds I saw flashes of his dominance. Consistently battling in the paint, rebounding and scoring at the rim are key for Haralson. If he can master the dirty work, the rest will work itself out for Haralson.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2415766"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"In a hard-fought win over [program_tooltip program_id='2075517' first='Hopson' last='Elite'], Lange impressed me in a variety of ways. For starters, his steal with a couple seconds left sealed the deal for his team. I also liked that the ball didn't stick to his hands, making quick decisions on the ball and swinging it to his open teammates. The defense also threw lots of pressure on him and Lange did a nice job of protecting the basketball. Combine that with some efficient shooting from the perimeter and Lange had an overall solid performance to help his team win.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2252551"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Another big playing up an age group, Kalaha doesn't look out of place on a 17 U court as he was one of the biggest prospects I watched all weekend. Throwing down some power dunks in the paint, Kalaha was a force opposing teams needed to worry about at the rim. Also protecting the rim using his length, timing and IQ, Kalaha did a nice job not fouling defensively. Also able to score with his back to the basket, Kalaha's best post move I caught was a lefty hook shot. Easy to see the upside with Kalaha, I like that he's playing older competition and not relying on physically overpowering players his age.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1379225"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"One of the top scorers from the state of New York, Rainey was making it rain on Saturday evening with at least four or five 3-pointers in the first half alone. Corey Graham Elite did a nice job of pushing in transition and finding their shooters when they were open. Rainey capitalized on this on a few occasions as his teammates found him trailing the play and kicked to him. After watching him this weekend, it's no surprise to me that he had so much success as a scorer at the high school level.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66413a711dcd8"} /-->
